Bruno Ganz in The American Friend (1977) dir. Wim Wenders

Wim Wenders did the first Ripley’s Game adaptation; the second, and perhaps superior Malkovich version is more true to the novel, this one taking place in Hamburg instead of France - but it’s a wonderful early Wenders, showing his visual flair that developed so sublimely over his career. The late great Robby Muller photographed Dennis Hopper better than anybody else ever has. The cinematography here is just gorgeous, and timeless.
